8 of 15Honestly disappointing. I connected a Bluetooth controller only to find out it supports all the buttons except for grenades. Beyond disappointing. Don’t bother with this title unless you want to get a hand cramp tapping the screen.
El joystick se traba y no se puede jugar,te matan muy rápido porque no te puedes mover
Please update. Game crashes a lot. Screen joystick too stagnant. Plugged in game controller. Grenades don’t throw. 🎅🏻
bad controls
Do better the controllers are not it ! It ruins the game we need more mobility
Im giving a 3 star rating because when I connect my controller to play for some reason I can’t throw any grenades please fix this issue.
Game is great but controls are terrible. Makes the game unplayable.
A few minor issues with the playability, very fun game, the bigger is no compatibility with any controller on the market, tried a few but not success, such a quick fix wouldn’t have to take so long to get if
